Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

The Green Screen

Agreement Number:

1039092

Duration: from Dec 1, 2025 to Nov 2, 2026
Description:

The purpose of the project is to increase the productivity and competitiveness of Canada’s table potato industry through the commercialization of Greenscreen, a patented edible coating specifically engineered to address light-induced greening in potatoes. By delaying chlorophyll and glycoalkaloid accumulation on potatoes’ skins without negatively impacting appearance, texture or taste, Greenscreen maintains skin quality during storage and under ambient light conditions. In so doing, it leads to measurably less loss and waste occurring along the entire farm-to-consumer value chain than would otherwise occur — resulting in widespread benefits to industry, consumers, and the environment.
